This study aims to evaluate the implementation of a religious-ecological character strengthening program conducted through co-curricular activities at SMAN 1 Jember using the Four-Level Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model. The research addresses the growing need for a comprehensive evaluation framework in character education, particularly one that moves beyond participation and satisfaction to examine behavioral change and institutional transformation. A qualitative case study design was employed to explore the processes of value internalization and character transformation within the school context. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observations, and document analysis involving the principal, vice principal for student affairs, teachers, program coordinators, and students engaged in co-curricular religious-ecological activities. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, with coding guided by the four Kirkpatrick levels: reaction, learning, behavior, and results. The findings indicate a staged transformation of religious-ecological values. At the reaction level, students showed strong emotional engagement and active participation. At the learning level, students developed an integrated understanding of religious teachings and ecological responsibility. At the behavior level, these values were reflected in consistent religious discipline and environmental care practices. At the results level, these practices contributed to the institutionalization of a religious-ecological culture within the school. The study concludes that the Kirkpatrick Model serves not only as an evaluation framework but also as an explanatory model of character transformation from individual engagement to institutional culture.
